High-profile game makers uninterested in Kinect and Move

GamesRadar: Sony spokescomic Kevin Butler wants you to laugh at the mere thought of Wii’s “inferior” motion controls. Microsoft wants you to think that driving a go-kart with your hands is cool. But those are marketing guys. They HAVE to like it. What about the people who make games? What do they think? Some of the biggest names in games are giving the Move and Kinect a resounding “meh.”

[Hacker]

lol 80% of game makers are working on Kinect games so i would put it as High-profile game makers uninterested in Move sounds about right.

aaaahhh look it's Pandamobile..........whats wrong u look upset no pc games news i see poor Pandamobile.

[Pandamobile]

You're a terrible troll.

[Nitrowolf2]

the things that come out of his its ave the nearly the same number of 3rd party dev interest in it?

I love how the author only list 2 examples.
also isn't the Lionhead a MS first party Studio?
So a first party Studio (who sided with there company) Vs a 3rd party studio

[NecrumSlavery]

Once Peter Molyneux himself said Fable 3 won't use Kinect, I knew this wasn't going to work. Reach, Gears 3 aren't using it either. Why aren't MS top 3 devs using it?

[Bigpappy]

Move has Tiger Woods and R.U.S.E from EA and Ubi. Kinect has fitness and Casual storts games from both. Some developer would not support either until they see numbers they like (Sales).

[heroicjanitor]

They used a Square Enix for ms(fair enough) but then used peter molyneux as an example of a dev who didn't like the move...

[sikbeta]

The thing is what kind of support those game makers are giving, you lame Hacker troll

Game makers can be making kinect games, but what games? cos if everything ends with Shovelware coming from third party Devs like they did with the wii, you can have it Hacker, you can play all the shovelware crap all you want

Sony have their Own Studios making Games for Move, so if third party are stupid enough to make the same mistake = shovelware all over again, doesn't matter cos PS3 owners have those First Party Games that deliver Quality as usual...

[garos82]

ill give you a 10 for effort

[Joule]

Yeah I bet Kinectamils will be awesome.

/s

[saint_john_paul_ii]

let him live in his own little world...

he cant be saved if you know what i mean...

[ALFAxD_CENTAURO]

Another Lie from MS is making you dumb, Hacker.

80% of pure lie.

[Jack Klugman]

necrum: Maybe it has to do with those titles being where they are in their development cycle. it seems short sighted to assume that just because the latest gears and halo doesn't support kinect that they aren't interested.

[pinkyxyz]

80 pecent?? lol you do understand that the're are hundreds of development studios in the world and i doubt that even a full third of them are working on kinect. why you ask? BECAUSE ITS AN ACCESSORY THAT DOESN'T HAVE ANY GUARANTEED SUCCESS BUT PLENTY OF POTENTIAL!! But as the virtual boy and sega cd/32x taught us, potential doesn't mean shit if it isn't realized.

"RANT"

[jneul]

they are all making casual mini-games like the cheeseburger eating similator by burger king.
enjoy IT WHILE IT LASTS, lol here is the move line-up
SORCERY
Ape Escape
Socom 4
KZ3
Ruse
Hustle Kings
RE5
Heroes on the move
Sly cooper Coleection
Sports Champions
Heavy Rain
LBP 2

[skip2mylou]

which is why kinect isnt getting support for RUSE OHHHHHH SEE WHAT I DID THEIR!!!!????

[Omega4]

I beg to differ, 3rd party devs are actually making whole games exclusively for Kinect like Ubisoft, Harmonix, Konami and those are just the ones that have been announced.

Move lacks real 3rd party dev support, all they are doing is tacking on motion tech to games already made like RE5. No one is making games exclusively for Move since they know it won't be big enough, so an investment won't be worth it.

[TheTeam06]

You have such high hopes. It's unfortunate, because things are not gonna be as cool as you think.

Do you like getting disappointed?

and then lets not forget about the huge First party amount that getting support for MOVE
i mean there what 21 studio, at least half of them are going to support move
3rd party support for PS MOVE

i can count around somewhere between 12-9 big 3rd parties in that list

@Pope

yeah i see what you mean, (No more heroes)

but this still proves that 3rd party devs are interested, even if they are just making ports

plus Dead Space Extraction comes free with Dead Space 2

also what happened with this then http://play.tm/news/30389/s...

[gtsentry]

dammm u shut dem up lol

[saint_john_paul_ii]

the fact they can port wii games to the PS3 (see Dead Space extraction) means more money depending on the quality of the game as well.

[Why o why]

that is an important factor that many overlook. Sorry but call move what you want....It has the most bases covered

That's all I can think of. Either way, with both Move and Kinect there are plenty of developers working on it. I think that thus article is just flat out off base. Just because you found two developers not interested doesn't mean there's no interest. And for the love of god, Molyneux was quoted and he's 100% invested in Kinect, and he's one of Microsoft's biggest cheerleaders. And they quote him in an article about no interest in motion? Try again.

[Nitrowolf2]

it was about MOVE he wasn't interested in, thats not a good example considering he is with a first party studio owned by MS

also WADA IS NO GAME MAKER
which i find this article to be a bit misleading

[Oner]

@ Pope_John_Paul_II ~ "the fact they can port wii games to the PS3 (see Dead Space extraction) means more money depending on the quality of the game as well."

Don't forget they can port games from Kinect as well since there basically has not been 1 game shown that the PS Eye can't theoretically do...even if it can't do a Kinect game "exactly" it would just be a matter of implementing an alternative way to force the action per se.

[Spenok]

Lol, this was a terribly written article, and you just destroyed it there.

[Microsoft Xbox 360]

Even then Sony's 1st and 2nd party devs will probably make better use of the motion controls. Something MS doesn't have. All they can come up with is a virtual pet that's been done years ago and a bunch of mini casual games.

[Garnett]

"Move lacks real 3rd party dev support, all they are doing is tacking on motion tech to games already made like RE5. No one is making games exclusively for Move since they know it won't be big enough, so an investment won't be worth it. "

Just like Six Axis, Sony was showing it off like its the next big thing, 4 years later it flopped and nobody liked it. Why would MOVE be different????

[sikbeta]

@Omega4

You really have high hope when it comes to Third party support, you didn't see what happened to the wii, those crappy games are all third party, you can count the Great Games on the wii with your fingers, kinect is not shoing anything real or anything that can make it work properly with games like GeOW or something in the same league, we saw no other thing than mini-games or the such, kinect will be the shovelware heaven for mini-games or even worst cos even the wii games Can't be ported

It doesn't matter if there is no "real support" [guess you missed the EA part of the Sony conference] cos Sony Have their OWN Studios working for Move, that Means Quality and the fact that Sony don't rely on third party devs like MS do all the time, kinect is aimed to the casuals, there is no room for Hardcore or High Quality Games, MS can't focus on 2 sides at the same time without First Party Devs and by Relying on Third Party Devs everything will end up with Loads of Shovelware crap, but in a worst way cos the x360 can't compete with the wii for the casual families, this gambling is going to affect MS more than they are thinking...

[A LIVING LEGEND]

Interesting.It would seem I am not the only one.

[HeroXIV]

Why are they asking Molyneux opinion of Move? He's been a Microsoft boy for YEARS now. Even if I do agree with him.

[myothercar]

Because they had to have a shady quote to back up the claim that Move isn't getting high-profile dev support, that way they could write an attention-whoring title and get hits from the N4G suckers like myself.

[MRJENKINS]

both kinect and move are addons and i wont see them any other way

[Copyright]

I don't think they're interested as they could be, mainly because Kinect and Move have an install base of 0.

[stephmhishot]

Wada: Multiplatform developer, CEO of a company with no allegiances anymore.

Molyneux: Head of Lionhead Studios, owned by Microsoft Game Studios.

imjustsaying

[ForNgoods]

If true then it's no surprise. The majority of ps3/360 owners i know seem to be uninterested as well.

[Jason143]

re5 ps move
killzone 3 ps move
socom 4 ps move....um this article is plain ole wrong
tigerwoods ps move
list gos on

[Why o why]

and misinformation i suppose.

Move has played a hand already....Kinect has said a lot but played nothing as it stands. Time will tell either way... i know who my bets are on

[ironmonkey]

re5 is a perfect example that any game can support move. why?, because it has buttons.

[J-Smith]

i don't like to move it, i don't like to Kinect it, i will stick with my ds3 pad LoL

[tiamat5]

Yes ask the non stop Microsoft @$$ kisser and the guy whose Final Fantasy games are dying a slow death what they think. This proves everything. Two guys in the industry say something negative and it's the end of motion control war. Microsoft and Sony better pack up and go home and ignore the many first and third party developers making games for them. I noticed Peter didn't mention how similar the Kinect was to the Wii or how similar it will be to the Move if they add controllers to it.I mean who brings these crappy articles in here? Please stop. It's not funny anymore .

[joypads]

if this is true then the only one i see will be having a serious problem is microsoft because they rely 100% on others to make the games for kinect while Sony has 1st patrty studios which are the best there is so they dont really need ubi soft,activision...etc to make games for move.

[refocusedman]

I seriously dont understand why people refer to Sony/Microsoft as we. Last time I checked neither company really cares abt we the consumer, the bottom line is making a profit. As for Move and kinect they both look pretty descent. Move looks like a hybrid between the wii and kinect. Natal looks ok but, the e3 presentation was pretty bad. Not to mention their are so many reports abt natal's inconsistencies. All in all I think we as consumers should wait to make our decisions on which hardware is superior until about 6 mos after they are released and they have software to support the hardware.

[jneul]

ok so why does ruse, hustle kings, socom 4 , resident evil 5, heavy rain, sorcery( and the list can go on) have move support if dev's are uninterested lol, maybe kinect has that problem, but move has more games coming out with it, kinect only has 15 casual titles on release, move already has a big release list, most of which are hardcore games

[BillOreilly]

why do ps3 fans get exited for playing the same games the beat already exept with a wiimote? a controller is much better. the wiimote sucks exept for casual games like what kinect has. move has em too but real core games suck ass. you shouldnt brag about rebuying heavy rain so you can wiggle a wand.

[jneul]

most games are getting patched, you do not need to rebuy them it's only $$ hungry companies doing separate editions for example re5:gold edition is the one getting move support, it's lucky I never bothered getting re5 before.
also some new games with move support to prove you wrong
Sorcery
Ape Escape
Socom 4
Killzone 3
Heroes on the move
